So, halfway through my review of Buffy’s
“Tabula Rasa”, I needed a break. Sometimes these really deep, intricate reviews
can severely mentally drain you. Especially when you’re trying to juggle a
full-time job, two part-time jobs, and two university modules at the same time.
Therefore, to counteract all this work...I decided to create more for myself by
writing this recap of my times on the convention scene in 2014, as well as
giving some general advice and information about conventions and ticket types
(primarily in the United Kingdom). Now, unlike my other convention-related
posts, this one won’t be 20-25 A4-pages long. This is because, frankly, I’ve
already written gigantic reviews of the conventions themselves, so most of the
details are contained within those specific reviews. I will try to keep this post as brief as
possible...but you know I get excited and fan-flailey, so bear that in mind. What
this post will do is recap the year, talk about some of the highlights, talk
about some of the best guests, and talk about advantages and disadvantages of
different convention companies.
